Police, The - Darkness Lyrics

After all these years, still gets me...

14 years and rocking it with my best friend 💋💋👍👍🌺💞😘

Ghost In The Machine Tour...Oingo Boingo opening...L.A. Forum...Epic!

love the echoing thunder claps towards the end. nice touch Stewart

Reminds me of my dad who passed away in1991.

Funny to see that everyone come here from the same source :)

Belle ricordi ascoltavo questa canzone in albergo di dalmine attcato all autostrada milano-bergamo insieme a un grandissima amica.mi viene da pianger. Mohamed laaouina

Great song,album,band,production and decade.

Mindhunter brought me here!

No one brought me here. I’m here cause I have kick ass taste

A Copeland tune .Sounds good👌

Mindhunter bill Tench ♥️♥️

Mindhunter GARBAGE screw that - I'm here for the Police..

You’re all here ‘cause of Mindhunter, confess! 😂

I can not LIE.. I confuse!!

It is already blatant. I hear a song and immediately recognize the voice of Sting. I think that went to everyone who saw the series Mindhunters. All the greater then the surprise that it is even from Police. Super cool song. Anyway a great selection of music in this series.

Mindhunter

Embarrassing that so many so called The Police "fans" didn't know this track ...

Yes embarrassing!

They police love Jáltipan Veracruz México beatifuul !!!!!!😎

Eastern's Savings Time's National Anthem.

The Magnificent Musical Genius of Stewart Copeland 🎶

Came here because of The Police.

The only thing I don't like about this song is that it's Only 3 minutes long!!! I want MORE!!! #Shoutout2MindHunters

Totally underrated

How ironic that I was alerted to this Police number, by the Feds. Thanks Mindhunter. Love this track.

Great song. Tremendous baseline, drums, and vocals. Forgot I listened to it so many years ago. Well played, Mindhunters, bringing this back to me.

Mindhunter put this song at the spot. A truly gem from Stewart Copeland.

My favorite song.

Should have got some air time. We love it.

"Mindhunters" but nigga I loved the police since '87 bitch mad niggas

people here from Mindhunter, where have you been since now? this song is awesome. since 1981!

Maybe listening to lots of other bands and maybe some of us got into Stings solo stuff more than the Police.

"Darkness makes me fumble for a key to a door that's wide open"- one of my favorite lyrics of all time.

I fux with sting the long way. And yah, I'm also here bc of mindhunter. Ty agent ford, cant wait for season 3!

Mindhunters brought me here.

This song highlights Andy Summers subtle haunting talent.

Mindhunterss!!

That album cover looks like it was designed by the Predator

I have loved this song since I was a kid. Vintage Police are amazing.

I knew without doubt that this was The Police but never heard this track
thanks mindhunter !

alguien acá que no cite la bendita Mindhunter???

God dang! This song really defines the band. One of there best songs

Thank you Mindhunter for bringing back my favorite Police gem after so many years. Haunting and beautiful. It's also good to see this brilliant show introduce younger generations to older music.

Odd that this gem is not on any of the numerous Best of the Police type albums that have been churned out over the last 40 years. This is clearly one of their best songs.

Tuh, y’all know why I’m here

All the travel takes it out of you.

Mindhunter anyone ?

I’m here because of mind hunter. I was born in the wrong era I’m only 24 years old.

romeo9545 pretty sure you have hit the right era. Make the best out of the moment.

@Donkeydongle There is a lot of good new music around but the loudness war is still raging and sound quality today is often shite compared to what we had back in the 80's.

That small look in Holden's eyes, like he knows he's gonna catch him.

Thanks mindhunter for showing me this hidden gem. I think it's one of their greatest songs.

JC E Try the whole LP

That's what gets frustrating by these videos comment sections when it's inundated with "here from x show". Obviously people like that song, why not check out the rest of what the band offers. Maybe some do but not likely

Mindhunter everybody, what a fucking amazing series... The best on Netflix!

Completely agree !

Don Carlo 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯

@Phyllisha Hart 100%genius series

Season 1 was genius. Season 2 jumped the shark.

Whatta Genius, Stew Copeland !!!


I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring
I could make a mark if it weren't so dark
I could be replaced by any bright spark
But darkness makes me fumble
For a key
To a door
That's wide open
Instead of worrying about my clothes
I could be someone that nobody knows
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring
I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring

Came from Mindhunters. Sounded like the Police but never heard this track before. Very nice.

MINDHUNTERS + SHAZAM brought me here.

Geez people. Ghost in the Machine. Their best album. Get it and listen to it! This is the last track. Written by Stewart Copeland.

Came for sopranos

@Keith Barrett Stings singing but Stewart Copeland wrote it.

@Chris Cross Ok great thanks for the info, but when I heard Sting's voice I knew it was him.

I've been discovering recently that my favorite songs by The Police were mainly written by Stewart Copeland. His technique, flair, and personality made for a very unique contribution to the band.

🎶🎵👍🥁👌

My lovely musikkk hero, you did it again. Bravo Maestro de maestros y gracias por todo...fan fan fan de tu sonido musical, me hace esta experiencia material tan divertida 😂😅☺️👋👏👍

Somebody has to loop this track...rhymes 4 days

wow this is great. I'm a police fan but never heard this album before. I wish they'd done more stuff like this.

It was one hot summer when I forgot the Ghost in the machine CD in my car. It got so hot that the plastic tray in the CD case melted and the actual CD got bent to a degree you couldn't use it anymore.
So I went to a 2nd hand record store to buy another copy. Took it home and played it, to find that it got stuck at one point - big scratch on the back. Brought it straight back to the record store and showed it to the guy behind the counter, who then started to treat and polish the back of the CD for at least 5 minutes. Then he asked me which track had got stuck in my stereo. I told him "number 11, the last one", he put it in and made us both test listen back to it over all the speakers in the store. I think it was the first and only time that "Darkness" was being played there like that. And I really enjoyed it!

Why the hell I read that

concerning british intelligence: hitlers bunker maybe used by extraterrestrials for headquarters for the war called armaggedeon [attack earth]. let he who has wisdom count the number of the "beast"=komod dragon[lizard=ancient devil ] for it is 3 score and 6. 6x6x6=18yrs time frame for united states "war preperation". the attack will commence in the winter months on north american continient, when we would be most vulnerable. "central europe"[east/west germany should be an offensive thrust for n.a.t.o forces to safe-guard democracy on european continient. wolfen . special forces reconn u.s army.

Brano stupendo come tea in the Sahara piccoli gioielli di creatività forever police

One of my favorite songs since i heard it the first time - being 15 years old 1981 - with my walkman walking through my little hometown. i forgot all around me.

special forces reconn. united state army. code name wolfen . I don't sell wolf tickets I buy them. the beast can be delt with I killed one once with  a k-bar. after saw it eat a human baby like it was a chicken mcnugget. their devils. ancient devils.

imagine if you can being a pow on a exterrestrial starcraft being totured and after they are finish with you they drop your body into pool of priannaha. being eaten alive by a fish is not a pleasant experience. when I was there I saw a hologram of the sears tower located in Chicago. they plan to use it as military high command post. for their new world ordthey mean to enslave homo sapien. then they become the top predator on planet earth. research the komodo dragon [ lizard] then you will know the beast of the book of revelations bibilically speaking of course. armaggdeon loosely translated alien dialect "attack" earth. wolfen.

My favorite Police tune.

the fellas produced a gen. true classic and timeless.more power to them.

This was my favorite song when I was six years old...well, tied with Omegaman. They both are still in my top ten.

I was 15 when this came out now 52! Still gives me shivers and good memories that I've lost throughout the years! People say I wish I was an adult, I wanna reverse time and go back and restart! Ty for upload👍👍👍

Memories that you've lost? how do you mean?

My favo Police song for what thats worth

How come they never played this live in concert ???

Wunderbar

Best police song by far

I listen to this in 90 i was a poor highschooler life was easy and Boring now, i work in great compagnies since 20 years and i regret those days when life was easy when it was Boring. i am ghost in the capitalisme machine! I got To much information from my smart form am no Alpha man but an oméga one. Days rainy , the sun invisible, and every thing my lady does seems To me magic

I dont' think Ste and Sting were equals, if I consider them as composers. Ste is a great force, who never stops, with vitality and curiosity; but Gordon, at that time, even if today is artistically exhausted, was a pure genius. So I understand the friction between the two, and I understand better the point of view of Sting, who wanted his work at certain standards and who wanted the control over Police but... but he was a really asshole not wanting to sing this song live. This song is beautiful and mesmerizing.

Adept shadow
Still holds a—
Measure of light

Basso e batteria con amore e passione.Io li amo

Gizmodrome made a great live version with Mark King (Level 42) on vocals.

one of those great forgotten tracks

I always thought there was something really tragic, and melancholy about this song - especially poingnant to my mind considering it was the last album on the track. To me - this song is not about the peeves and trials of being famous and all over the world; but suffering from depression - fumbling uselessly for a key to a door that's wide open because of the tentacles of darkness and anxiety are twisting your mind and making you lose control and spiral into self-doubt and despair...

Música sin drogas.

Pleasantly surprised, a deep cut of such quality from a band whose B-sides include non-classics like "Mother," "Friends," "Peanuts," "Dead End Job," "Masoko Tango" and "A Sermon."

But Masoko Tanga is awesome!

O simply love this song! SC at his best level!!!

Es lo que tienen las canciones que se encuentran al final del álbum, pasan desapercibidas cuando son obras maestras, como ‘The Sun and the Rainfall’ de Depeche Mode

...........1981.......... one UNFORGETTABLE YEAR...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This (GITM) was the first album I ever bought. I was 10. Still love it.

Listened to The Police since I was about 8 Can't tell you what they meant to me.... Life changing

Had this album on cassette tape.

I did to and was played lots while travelling around Europe in a Combi in 1981 the year of release.whenever I hear anything off this it reminds me of that big trip.

If they didn't break up and stayed together like U2 did... imagine how many great albums they would have had.

@Shinethelight - I became a U2 fan after The Police had broken up ;-)

just as relevant today as it was 37 years ago, fame ,fortune..it's all irrelevant & written by Stewart copeland...best police song by a country mile & then some..so called singers of today listen to the lyrics & remember them after your 5 minutes of fame

Haven't heard this song for years Still sounds great

One of my faves from the album! ❤️

This is a MIRACLE. I'm simply in love with this song, can't get enough of it.

If only they didn't break up so soon ....

I can say that is my top favorite song from The police. Love the vibe of this tune.

If not mistaken stewart Copeland wrote this...best police song ever!..as relevant then as it is now,pure genius,the lyrics are just off the scale.pure perfection

If you love this song it's because it in BOSSA NOVA OF THE 60s meaning NEW BEAT OR SHOULD I SAY,NEW WAVE for the 80s.
If you listen to must of police song it has those elements just like some of the BEATLES SONGS.bossa nova its another form of JAZZ

Best song on the album.

Such a scintillating, and yet often forgotten about, Police song. This song is proof that Stewart Copeland was actually a good songwriter when he was given the chance.
